Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[text58]

The most recent game that I played in, I had a strange occurance in the last round of combat. I had charged my knight unit into the right flank of a unit of spearmen whose left flank was resting on a major water feature. Unfortunately, the unit of spearmen was 12E, and I didn't do quite enough damage to do one per. But, I got to wondering, what would have happened if I had? Would I have pushed them into the river thus possibly shaking or breaking them, or would they move laterally to the river such that I would then be in front of the spearmen? I really had no clue, so I suppose my question is, in general, what happens if a unit would be forced to cross uncrossable terrain for that unit, or is that even possible? And if not, what would happen instead?

This would be as for any other type of failing to recoil fully (ie meeting another unit that can't be interpenetrated). It is a cause for disorder.

A body called upon to recoil that cannot recoil fully recoils as much as it can and becomes disordered.
